Why would the City of Sierra Madre be denying people access to City Council meeting Staff Reports for tonight's meeting? It must be a glitch. Or somebody just didn't set things up properly. Or perhaps it is just me. There is always that.
Let's try an experiment. Clickhere to get to tonight's City Council Agenda Report. Then scroll down to item No. 5, which looks like this.
Click on that item from the Agenda Report. What response do you get? The Staff Report itself, or something that asks you for a password, and then denies you access due to your rather sad lack of privileges? That is what I got.
There is another puzzling occurence. Click here to get to this:
When you arrive there click on the agenda for the 5:30 "Closed Session." You will get what you were supposed to get when you clicked on the 6:30 meeting. Or at least I did. Which is a working link to all of the Agenda Reports for the regular meeting. No password required, no access denied.
So has that 5:30 "Special Closed Meeting" been properly noticed, and can it still be held?
Oh, and there is one more thing. With the 5:30 link that takes you to the Agenda for the 6:30 Regular Meeting instead of the 5:30 Closed Session, the items are in a rather wild and random order. It all appears like this:
If all of the above is as I found it to be, then why hasn't anyone else noticed it? I can't be the only person on the planet that actually reads this stuff.
